Logically speaking, Xia Weiwei and Li Yun were two people who should never have crossed paths. Xia Weiwei was almost three years older than Li Yun.
In today's rapidly evolving society, a three-year gap doesn't exactly create a generational divide, but it undoubtedly leads to significant differences in life philosophies and ways of thinking.
However, fate is something that can't be foreseen or controlled by humans. This time, the god of fate decided to play a trick and tightly intertwined the life paths of these two unrelated individuals at some unknown point in the future.
And it was this seemingly insignificant change involving these two people that would unknowingly alter the destinies of many others.
Li Yun had once saved Xia Weiwei without intending to. Back then, he took three knife wounds while taking down over thirty thugs who had forcibly dragged the girl into an alley. He ended up in the hospital himself.
But because they were three years apart and in different grades, the hero who saved the beauty never ended up with her. They maintained a relationship that was closer than good friends or lovers, yet not quite lovers.
At that time, Li Yun already had a very beautiful girlfriend, Lin Yixin. Xia Weiwei had confidence in her charm, but Li Yun always remained indifferent to her advances.
The more indifferent he was, the more complicated her feelings for him became, to the point where she couldn't even distinguish them herself.
They had strolled around the campus, studied in the library, and eaten in the cafeteria together, but no rumors ever spread.
No one could believe that a girl as outstanding as Xia Weiwei would interact with him while knowing he had a girlfriend. The reason Xia Weiwei was particularly fond of Li Yun, more so than other men, was believed to be because he had saved her.
This was a one-sided assumption shared by everyone, including Lin Yixin. She had no choice but to bury her feelings deep inside.
When Xia Weiwei accidentally saw Li Yun's girlfriend walking hand in hand with another man, looking blissfully happy while shopping on Chunxi Road, she felt a surge of disdain and anger. But somewhere in the mix, there was also a hint of relief and joy.
"Yun, may I sit here?" A pleasant female voice pulled Li Yun out of his reverie.
Everyone who knew Li Yun called him "Yun," especially the guys. But this somewhat familiar female voice was definitely calling him that for the first time, as it was clearly hesitant and awkward.
Li Yun was sitting in the southeast corner of the highest floor of the reading room, located in the southeast corner of the library.
Since the southeast side of the library faced Mirror Lake, the largest and most picturesque lake on campus, which was connected to several smaller lakes and ponds by a small river running through the school, it resembled a string of large, glistening grapes, with Mirror Lake being the biggest and most enticing one.
To get plenty of natural light, the library had large windows with much lower sills than those in classrooms. Sitting in a chair by the window, one could overlook the entire Mirror Lake and the two nearby smaller lakes. This was why Li Yun loved sitting here.
Li Yun looked up and saw the person who had come to disturb him before he had even settled into his seat.
What he saw was a bright, cheerful smile. She had long, smooth, and shiny black hair that cascaded over her shoulders and back, with a strand falling in front of her ear. Her finely arched eyebrows rested above her bright, dark eyes, with long eyelashes fluttering as she blinked. Her straight nose had a slightly upturned tip and small, cute nostrils.
Below her nose was a slightly pouting, rosy mouth with plump lips that made one truly appreciate the ancient term "cherry lips."
Her chin was rounded rather than pointed, fitting perfectly with her face shape. Her jade-like fair cheeks had a hint of peachy red. Her small, delicate ears were clean and translucent, almost revealing the fine blood vessels within, especially when facing the morning sun, with the fine hairs on her face and ears gleaming gold. This appearance could only be described as "saintly."
Her shoulder-length hair was tied back with a purple ribbon, giving her a smart and efficient look, quite different from her usual ladylike image. She wore a light yellow T-shirt that accentuated her full, round breasts, and a dark blue sports shorts that revealed her smooth, fair, and shapely thighs. She wore sports shoes with sheer stockings visible around her ankles.
Today, she wore no makeup, looking fresh and natural, like a lotus blooming in the morning sun, exuding a sense of youthful vitality and energy.
Xia Weiwei's charming smile revealed her cherry-red lips, slightly parted with a hint of allure, and two dimples that added to her cuteness.
'Why didn't I notice before that Xia Weiwei, the top beauty and campus queen of Donglai University, is so stunningly beautiful?' Li Yun shook his head, suddenly realizing that he had been so focused on Lin Yixin's beauty that he had overlooked the attractiveness of all other girls.
'How foolish of me to forsake an entire forest for a single tree, to give up a whole prairie for a blade of grass, to let go of a vast harem for just one woman!' Li Yun thought of how he had been heartbroken and sleepless over a woman who had left him. It was absurd!
Lin Yixin had left him; it was she who should be sad, not him. On the contrary, he should feel relieved. From now on, he was free to soar like a bird in the sky and swim like a fish in the sea. He had regained the right to explore the entire forest and the vast prairie.
"Yun, Sister Weiwei hasn't seen you in ages. Did you miss your big sister?" Xia Weiwei affectionately linked her arm with Li Yun's right arm, showing no shyness at all, with a blissfully content expression.
'Why am I having such thoughts?' Xia Weiwei's words snapped Li Yun out of his daydream. He shook his head, puzzled by his own thoughts.
Could it be that Lin Yixin's departure had changed him completely?
Suddenly, Li Yun's arm felt a tingling sensation as two warm, soft, and plump mounds pressed tightly against it. He turned his head and saw Xia Weiwei, her willow-like eyebrows framing her watery eyes filled with deep affection.
Her lips were pursed, rosy and enticing, and below her fair neck, a deep cleavage was visible, with the sides of her breasts gleaming white and eye-catching.
Li Yun's breathing quickened as a seed of male desire sprouted, took root, and began to grow in his heart...
